Virtual learning is difficult for both parties involved and I am struggling with the ability to give the best to my students! Working in a low income school district, I am supplied with the basic materials but desire for more. Currently, I do not have the best resources to help my kiddos in ways they need and I cannot fund it all by myself. One therapy approach does not work for every child, which is why they need individualized therapy sessions. I am requesting activities from Teachers Pay Teachers and books, create a scene felt board, word activities and more. These materials will help me to more easily target the children's own skills rather than having to take one item and try to make it work for all. By donating to this project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement. Preschool is typically the first academic setting children experience and I want them to be set up for success. My students are kind and loving; they deserve the absolute best.
